FOOT FOR CRUTCHES, WALKING-STICKS, LADDERS", AND THE LIKE.
Specification of Letters lPatent.
Application filed June 3, 1919. Serial No. 301,525. 1
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, HARRY HENVILLE AMADIo, a subject of the King ofGrreat Britain and Ireland, residing at Redfern, near Sydney, in the State of New South Wales, Commonwealth of Australia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Feet for Crutches, Walking-Sticks, Ladders, and the like, of which the followingis a specification. g
This invention .relates to invalid crutches, walking sticks, ladders, tripods and like articles, and has for its object to provide an improved foot vfor-such articles. Moreparticularlyv the invention has forits object to provide an improved foot of the kind comprising a ball and socket joint,the socket or ball member of which is connected with the lower extremity of the crutch or other article while the remaining member of the ball and socket jointis. provided with a shoe member adapted to make flat contact with the ground at all times regardless of the angular position of the crutch or other article.
The present invention consists in a foot of the kind hereinbefore described, comprising a socket member, two hemispherical. oup-shaped-parts-fitting within the socket member, a resilient element urging the cup shaped parts-in opposite directions, and a stem provided on one of said cup-shaped parts and extending through an aperture in the other'of said-parts; the extremity of said stem and the socket member being secured one tothe crutch or other articleand the other to the shoe member. I
A further object of the invention is to provide on one of the hemispherical, cupshaped partsofthe joint a projection adapted to move in a chamber having cushioned walls, for the purpose of reducing'shock' or jar at the lateral limits of angular move ment of the crutch or other article relative to the shoe member. s i
Another object is to provide a buffer spring interposed between vthe ball and socket joint andithe crutch or other article, for the, purpose of reducing shockby permitting resilient movement of thecrutch or other article in the direction of its length.
The invention further consists in the improved foot for crutches, walking sticks, ladders and other articles substantially as and for the purposes hereinafter described.
But in order that the invention may be clearly understood reference will now be made to the drawings which accompany and 111 which o 1 F igure 1 is an elevation showing the inform part of this complete specification and vvention applied to a crutch or the like. Flg. 2 isa section of same.
Fig. 3 is a modification in which the positionof balljoint is reversed.
Fig.4 is an elevation showing the invention with shock absorber.
Fig. 5 is section of-same. Fig. 6 is a section showing theshock absorhber agpplied to the modification illustrated 1n1g..' I
Fig. 7 is an elevation of; the ball joint and shod disk removed from the socket. 7
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, and 7 the ferrule or socket 9-is internally screw threaded at its top end 10 was to adapt it to engagean externally screw threaded'cap 11 on end of crutch stick 12. a. r v
o The other end of ferrule is spun orlotherwise constructed to surround and form a socket 13 for ball 141. The ball 14 is cona central aperture and is adapted to move on the stalk 1 Between .the two halves 15 and 16 of the .balllis an intermediate spring 19 which sur rounds thestalk 17.. .When the ball is inclosed in the socket 13; the two halves 15 and 16 are drawn closely togetherto form the ball or sphere 14. I l The internal spring 19 which is now compressed, maintains a constant tension on the .moving half '16 of ball against the'inner wall of the socket 13, thus preventing the ball working loose in the socket by taking up any I .wear.
The free end of the stalk 17. is riveted'or otherwise firmly secured to a metal disk 20 whichjhas its under face 21 slightly concave.
To the under face of the disk 20 is attached Patented Aug. 3, 1920.
a shoe 22 of rubber or other suitable material.
The reason for slightly dishing the under face of the disk is that when rubber or other resilient material is used for the shoe 22 (as in thecaseof an invalid crutch or stick) a slight suction is obtained whenused on smooth wet pavements or tiled or polished floors, thus preventing sl pplng.
The neck or contracted portion 23 in ferrule 9 immediately abovelthe ball and socket joint forms a chamber 24: of predetermined diameter in which the .pintle 18 projecting from the ball 14: moves and is provided for the .purpose .ofi :lst; Limiting the movement of the ball and socket joint and preventing the lower edge of the socket 9 coming into contact-with theidisk 2OJ i 2nd. To prevent any knocking noise by the introduction of a leather or rubber washer as a cushion for the pintle-18.
3rd. To provide a chamber to hold a lubricant or anti-friction material-for the ball and socket jointsuch asgraphiteorthe like.
Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate the inventionwith a buffer spring introduced between the crutch stick and the jointed foot for the purpose of absorbing the road'shockand thus easing -to some extent the strain 1 on an invalid using a crutch or stick. The device illustrated in these two figures isin all respects similarto-that hereinbefore described with reference 'to Figs. '1, 2-and 7 except that the cap 11 on end of crutch stick 12 is attached to an outer tube 26 which telescopes over the ferrule 9 and rests on a strong intermediate bu'fier spring 217. A small groove 28' is swaged or otherwise formed 'in the outer tube 26 at the top of the neck-23 of innertube 9 for the purpose of preventing the outer-tube moving upward, while atthesame-time it is free to move downward.
Referring to Fig. 3 which illustrates. a modification in construction which enables the device to be applied to a stick thinner than the usualcrutch stick, and further enables thewearing surface of the ball joint tojbe brought nearer the. ground which under some circumstances may be found. advantageous. In this case the position of" the ball joint is reversed that'is to say, the half ball 15 carrying stalk 17, andpintle18, is at the bottom, and the other half 16, on the ;top, the socket 13 being secured to the disk 20fthe chamber 2 1 with cushion washer being formedtherein. The stalk 17 is extended and adapted to be driven or screwed into the stick 12 The disk 20 is flanged to retai h rn rshoe2 fe r ngto re: 6 ich i st ates a fsui blem'thod of app y n a ock absorblng spring to the modified construction of member, two hemispherical,
jointed foot hereinbefore described with reference to Fig. 3. The stick 12 is provided as" shown in Figs. .1, 2,.4tand 5 with aascrewed cap 11 to' whi'ch is screwed an outer tube 26 which telescopes over an inner plugged 1tube-29 into iwhichfthe:extended stalk 17 of ball and socket joint is screwed or driven.
' i shock absorbing spring 27isintroduced between the stick 12 and the jointed foot as .111 'rFliggfi.
The outer tube 26 has a groove 28 at the bottom to prevent upward movement.
Iclaim: i i. 1. A .foot' ofthe kind hereinbeifore'described, comprising a shoemember, a socket member, two hemispherical; cup-shaped parts fitting within the socket member, a resilient element urging the cup-shaped parts in opposite directions, and a stem provided on oneio'f said cup-shaped .parts 'and extending through anaperturein the other ofsaid parts the extremity of saidstem and the socket .member being secured, one .to.;the crutch or other. article and the"other to the'shoe member.
